New York, NY - October 7, 2008-–With their newest release The Scene, The Stryker/Slagle Band serve up a dedication to men and women playing their kind of music: warm, soulful jazz. Each and every track acts as an affectionate ode to personal friends and musical heroes alike, all while demonstrating the skillful guitar playing of Dave Stryker and warm saxophone riffs of Steve Slagle. Respectful yet upbeat, the recording shows what modern jazz can achieve in the hands of its biggest fans. Accompanied here by tenor sax virtuoso Joe Lovano, The Scene offers something for everyone – from up-tempo urban jazz pieces to smooth, easy ballads – presented with the effortless style and grace that fans have come to expect from Stryker and Slagle. From the opening “Skee” to the concluding “Strikology,” all musicians are on the same wonderful page, exemplifying the kind of simple beauty that only contemporary jazz can accomplish. Certain to appeal to all types of listeners, The Scene is easy on the ears and soothing to the mind, infused with a level of musical joy that one rarely hears in modern music. Clearly, The Stryker/Slagle Band has succeeded in creating a whimsical ode to jazz’s unsung heroes. A native Nebraskan, Dave Stryker has been a part of the New York City jazz scene for more than two decades, where he developed his legendary guitar-playing skills. Saxophonist Steve Slagle was born in Los Angeles but moved to New York in 1977, having already debuted his knack for the saxophone while playing with the Stevie Wonder Band. The Scene is their fourth release together as The Stryker/Slagle Band. Visit Dave Stryker’s and Steve Slagle’s websites for more information, pictures, updates, and sound samples.

Seattle, Washington-September 30, 2008-Tamara Lewis’s new release Living Down River serves a twofold purpose. The recording is a powerful personal and musical statement that goes beyond one simple listen. The thought provoking CD is inspired by conversations with friends, life’s experiences and her 20-year career as psychotherapist. Tamara’s survival of ten years of Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction contributed heavily to the reflective and poignant lyrical content of the album. Her mix of contemporary songs that blend folk, country, and blues are threads of stories that weave their way purposefully throughout the recording. Tracks like “Better Day” echo with emotion and the feeling of someone that has gone through, experienced, and endured some hardships only to come out the other side and step into the light then be able to share that experience with someone that needs some inspiration to do the same. Tamara’s ability to dig down on a deep level personally makes her music the most powerful tool of communication she could use to convey messages to an audience. You never feel alone listening to her music and walk away believing that you can also meet life’s challenges and move forward in your life. Tamara started playing guitar and songwriting in her mid-40's and released her first CD, Long Time, No See when she was 48. Now at age 50, Living Down River is a new beginning. For ambitious and enlightened people like Tamara Lewis life really does begin at 50. Visit the Tamara Lewis website for more information, pictures, updates, and sound samples.
